Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Tin Heat Diffuser
Customer Review: No more burnt skillets, pots!
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing about the gas range when we moved that just irked me was my inability to cook at low temperatures without burning things, even with my expensive "waterless" stainless steel (18/8) cookware. I was baffled and a little perturbed until one of the neighbors talked about her "diffuser." Your what, I asked? She showed me a well used, blackened metal diffuser that goes over the flame and your pot or pan sits on top of this. Imagine, I found one on Amazon for a pittance of a price, so I ordered two of them (one is in reserve, just in case). After the first usage, it blackened a little, then went on to color and season like most metals will do. The leather tie on the handle seemed a little silly and dangerous (hello? loose hanging objects on / near open flame??) so I took it off and tossed it away. Also, the wooden handle seems to be a little ill-thought out (I'm also just waiting for it to burn when the metal gets hot enough) but you just be aware of it and be ready if it does. So: I'm rating this little item with five stars because it's ingenious, works very well, prevents burning and scorching and I'm happy with it. You will be, too!
Description of Norpro Tin Heat Diffuser
If you're cooking a delicate sauce, or melting chocolate, it's imperitave to use really low, gentle heat. This diffuser adds a layer of protection between the burner and the bottom of the pan, yet its perforations do allow heat to get through.Kitchen & Housewares
